Build and push artifacts and images

You can use Harness CI to upload artifacts, such as Docker images or test results. Build and Push steps build your codebase and then push the resulting artifact to a container registry or cloud storage repo. Upload Artifact steps upload any artifact.

Build and Push​

Build and Push steps build your codebase and then push the artifact to a repo. You can:

For other upload locations, you can use a script in a Run step to build and upload the artifact.

The following video demonstrates how to add a Build and Push step to a Harness CI pipeline.

Kubernetes cluster build infrastructures require root access​

With Kubernetes cluster build infrastructures, Build and Push steps use kaniko. Other build infrastructures use drone-docker. Kaniko requires root access to build the Docker image. It doesn't support non-root users.

If your build runs as non-root (runAsNonRoot: true), and you want to run the Build and Push step as root, you can set Run as User to 0 on the Build and Push step to use the root user for that individual step only.

If your security policy doesn't allow running as root, go to Build and push with non-root users.

Upload Artifacts​

Upload Artifact steps upload artifacts. These steps don't include build commands. You can:

For other upload locations, you can use a script in a Run step to upload the artifact.
